COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina head women's basketball coach Dawn Staley announced that Kaydra Duckett (Columbia, S.C./Dreher) has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend the University and play for the Gamecocks. Duckett will have four years of eligibility beginning with the 2014-15 academic year.
"We watched Kaydra grow up over the past five years, and she is someone we've had our eye on for a long time," Staley said. "She is a big, athletic guard who is probably strength-wise more college-ready than anyone by her ability to create her own shot. She has deep 3-point range and a competitive spirit like no other."
A 5-foot-10 guard, Duckett is ranked 32nd in the nation and sixth at her position in the 2014 class, according to ESPN. The five-star recruit is a two-time all-state selection (2011, 2012). She earned MVP honors at the 2012 state tournament as a sophomore, helping her team to the 3A championship. In 2012-13, Duckett averaged 17.5 points, 2.3 assists and 3.4 steals.

Kaydra's Dreher playing in today's Crescom Bank Holiday Invitational, which is the girls HS tournament being held around the USC-UNC women's game scheduled tonight. Dreher beat the William Fleming Colonels (Roanoke VA) 55-47. Kaydra led her team with 25 pts, 6 assists, and 8 steals. Dreher will play against Kaydra's friend Aja Wilson and Heathwood Hall tomorrow. Here is the official website for game info:

Duckett's Dreher team (7-0) beat Aja Wilson's Heathwood Hall team (5-1) in a tight quarterfinal contest 72-70 in overtime. Duckett struggled a bit with her shooting, going 10-38 including 4-19 from the 3-pt. arc and scored 25 pts along with 6 rebs, 5 assists and 5 steals. Wilson had a dominant game going 12-22 from the field and 16-19 from the FT line scoring 40 pts with 18 rebounds and 3 blocked shots in the loss, but Kaydra had more support from her team offensively than Aja did from hers...

Dreher then went on to lose to Edgewater (FL) in the semifinals tonight 57-44 to fall to 7-1. Duckett scored 18 pts and 7 rebs in the loss. Dreher will face Orangeburg-Wilkinson tomorrow at 12:30 pm for 3rd place in the tournament...

Sometimes I wanna say something, but the words just aren't there.
Woke up this AM to find my sub-conscious had pushed these to the fore.
Take the mistaken opinions of a bunch of strangers and feed the flames.
KD,Mac AA tried but just didn't know about the fire deep down inside.

Girl, when the woman you're gonna be comes outta that furnace,
You're gonna be stainless 316L - Best damn steel there is.
Don't believe me? Ask an old welder. He'll tell you the same thing.
Why does it matter? Don't want any carbon steel in our Magnolias.
